A Zombie Tribal deck that swings wide, gains life, and draws us cards -- the real wincon of Magic of the Gathering. Baked into the deck are ways to let us keep those precious cards like Shadow of the Grave and Library of Leng . Speaking of graveyards, protect yourself with Elixir of Immortality and Ghost Quarter to either shuffle your graveyard into your library or nuke someone's Bojuka Bog in retaliation.

Flood the board with tokens using token generators like Diregraf Colossus , God-Eternal Oketra , or Sorceries like From Under the Floorboards then swing big. With Wonder in your graveyard or Aven Wind Guide on the field, you can even hit them in the air.

The more zombies you swing, the more cards you draw, the more you can drain your opponents. When a Zombie dies Vengeful Dead is there to drain them. When there are Zombies on the battlefield, Shepherd of Rot is there to punish them. When you cycle or discard a card, Faith of the Devoted is there to keep you in the game and them low on life. If all else fails, find Approach of the Second Sun and win.

With Varina at the helm, you drain, go wide, or die.
